Title: Improvements in the Art of Finishing the Surfaces of the Heels, Soles and other parts of, Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: CROOKER WILLIAM WINSLOW
Filed: 1908-01-11
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 727. Crooker, W. W. Jan. 11. Polishing-liquids.-In the art of finishing the surfaces of the heels, soles, and other parts of boots and shoes two compositions are employed to give a lustrous surface to the article, one containing a vegetable wax in solution with stearic acid together with colouring-matter dissolved in caustic alkali, the other containing vegetable oils or suitable. oleaginous matter and a colour - strengthening material, such as denatured alcohol. The second composition is applied after the first has been suitably dried and finished, and the two coatings are intimately united by heat. The first composition may be prepared by melting carnauba wax, stearic acid, and oleic acid, and adding to this melted wax a solution made with water, caustic alkali, oleic acid, 'and casein. The second composition may be prepared by melting together a resin or gum, such as callitris quadrivalvis, a resin or pitch, such as picca excelsa, suitable oleaginous matter, such as lucca and sassafras oils, and a vegetable balsam, or gurgun, and adding to the mixture a sufficient quantity of denatured alcohol containing a small amount of camphor, and some aniline or colouring-matter if desired. To dim the lustre of the surface, a rapidly rotating rubber and a composition consisting of vegetable wax, stearic acid, ceresine, lard oil, and kerosene oil, melted and mixed together, are employed.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Shutters for Cinematographs.
Inventor: LIPPOLD ALBERT ARTHUR
Filed: 1908-08-04
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 16,420. Lippold, A. Aug. 4. Kinematographs.-Relates to a safety shutter of the type in which the shutter is controlled by a centrifugal element. The movement of the film 1. rotates a roller 3 and thereby through frictionclutch mechanism moves a disk 4 to the position shown in Fig. 1, thus putting sufficient tension on a chain 5 to move a spur 7 of a weighted lever 6, Fig. 4, out of engagement, with a spur 8 on the clutch member 9, allowing the shaft 17 carrying the centrifugal mechanism to be rotated (through said clutch member 9) with the main shaft 11, and to open the shutter 22 through a known centrifugal device 19. If the film breaks, the tension in the chain 5 is released, and the spur 7 rises to engage the spur 8 and so stops the centrifugal mechanism and closes the shutter. Specification No. 22,874, A.D. 1907, is referred to.

Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 28,992. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Dec. 14. S e w i n g - m a c h i n e s ; needles, driving; feed by dog.-The needle-bar and feed-dog are rendered inoperative simultaneously at the close of a stitching operation instead of wholly disconnecting the machine from t h e power-transmitting device. In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a sleeve 46 fitting loosely upon the needlebar 42 is pivotally mounted within the crank-pin of a crank 39. Normally the needle-bar is operatively connected to it by a spring-pressed pin 48 within the crankpin, which engages a notch 61 in the needlebar. When the stop treadle is depressed, a sleeve 51 surrounding the upper end of the needle - bar is turned slightly. On the next ascent of the needle-bar, a lug 42<1> upon it engages with a camsurface 53, thereby twisting the needle-bar a n d disengaging t h e notch 51 and pin 48. T h e feed - traversing eccentric 18 is pivoted to the pulley 16, and is h e l d normally by a spring 19 in its most eccentric position. On the operation of the stop-treadle, a rod 21 is moved towards the left, and its pointed end 20, bearing upon a pin 22, forces the eccentric into a concentric position, so rendering the feed inoperative. Fig. 9 shows another construction. Both feed eccentrics are adjusted as explained above by the displacement of a rod 81. This rod is prolonged, is prevented from rotation relative to the shaft 10, and carries a helical-toothed wheel 86 gearing with a corresponding segment 87 on a pin 88<1>, to which is secured an arm 89 carrying the needle-driving crank 90. When the rod 81 is displaced towards the left, the gear-wheels 86, 87 swing the arm 89 and bring the crank 90 into a position concentric with the shaft 10. In a third construction, the stitch regulating suspension link of a known form of cam-actuated feed-shaft operating rod is connected to a lever on a control shaft.

Abstract: 29,195. Sheppard, O. Dec. 15. Toothed gearing.-In gearing for converting rotary into reciprocating motion for driving pumps &c., of the kind in which a driving- .pinion e engages an internally toothed frame d slidable transversely in guides in the reciprocating member A, means are provided to ensure that the frame d shall rise and fall in its guides at each end of the stroke in a perfectly parallel manner. With this object, the ends of the frame d are connected by links i to bellcrank levers j, which are pivoted on the reciprocating member A and are connected to one another by a pair of rods k, which compel them to move in unison to ensure a parallel movement of the frame d. A pair of rollers h on the toothed frame d engage fixed endless guidegrooves g to ensure continuous movement of the frame d with the teeth always in mesh with the driving pinion. A spring l is provided to counterbalance the weight of the frame. The Provisional Specification describes also a modification in which one of the bell-crank levers carries the rollers which engage the fixed endless guide-grooves.

Sewing-machines; feed by dog and needle; presser-bars; presser-bars, lifting automatically. -The feed movements of the needle and feeddog are synchronized, to ensure a uniform advancement of superposed plies of material, and are controlled in direction. The main shaft 1 is connected by an endless band 7 with the hookshaft 6, and carries at its forward end a flange 17 in which is secured one member 19 of a crank 20, the other member 21 of which is journaled in a bearing 22 formed in a link 23 attached to a presser-foot lifting-lever 25, the axis of the member being slightly eccentric to the shaft 1. The lever 25 is fulcrumed upon a stud 26 in a lifting-collar 27 secured on the presser-bar 28, and its opposite end is connected to a link 31 connected to a collar 33 secured on a bar 35 carrying a step-feeding foot 36. Between the lifting-lever 64 and the collar 27 is a wearing- plate 65 having an extension 66 and stop 67 encircling the bar 28 and normally held down by a spring 68, a pin 69 passing through an opening 70 in the collar 27 to hold the step 67 in alinement. The presser 58 is held down by a spring 59 in the tubular portion 60 under an adjusting-screw 62. A needle-bar 63 is driven from the shaft 1 through the crank 19 and link 50, and together with the foot 35 is carried in 'bearings in a frame 41 oscillated by a pin 80 passing through a strap 76 on an eccentric 77.

An extension 89 has a raised serrated portion 91 serving as a feed-dog, and another portion provided with a needle-opening, these portions being guided in a slot 94 in the throatplate 75. The vertical axes of the stud 83 and pin 84 intersect the axes of the shaft 6, and the pin 80 is provided with an adjustable eccentric portion 95, Fig. 4, whereby the plane of oscillation of the needle and feed may be varied slightly, so that, in using an edge-guide, the feed may be slightly towards the said guide, in order that the material shall travel against it. The foot 36 is lifted, when the needle has risen, to allow of the reverse motion, by means of the link connexion from the collar 27, the necessary movement being imparted by a movement to the left, Fig. 1, of the link 23, when the collar 27 is in its lower position, this movement causing a movement of the bell-crank lever 25 about its pivot. Governing needle-thread. - The arm 42 is mounted in a tubular bearing 44 on a stud 45. secured in the head of the arm, and is operated by an arm 43 passing through an opening in the head 47 of a stud 30 oscillating in a tubular bearing 48 formed integral with a bearing 49 and the driving-link 50.
